I have been on the road since this past Wednesday. I took my usual route to get around Chicago, Il-47. At Sauneman, I went east on Il-110 and even was on US-45 for awhile. We had taken it from Mobile, Alabama, to Champaign, Illinois, earlier in the month.
Caught I-65 in Indiana and went to I-70 in Indianapolis, all the way to Cambridge, Ohio, where it was I-77 to Marietta, Ohio, right on the Ohio River where I spent the night.
Thursday, it was I-77 in the rain to Charleston, West Virginia, where I had breakfast at a Shoney's (I haven't eaten at one of these in a long time). Great buffet for $6.95.The West Virginia Turnpike, between the first two toll areas, is one of the most beautiful drives anywhere, and I am not a big fan of interstates. Total tolls are $3.75 at three toll collection plazas. The scenery is worth it.
On to Virginia and got gas for $3.15, the lowest along the ride. Most places wanted $3.28 or more.To I-74 to I-40 from Winston-Salem to Raleigh, not a favorite drive because of the heavy traffic, but I was running a little before rush hour and madeit with no major traffic jams.
Took US-70 to Goldsboro.
Talk About an EXPENSIVE Drive!!! --RoadDog
Being an account of some things I'm interested in, what I'm doing, and reflections on my past, especially music.
Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.
